Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and throat pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, they can take some fever-reducing medication orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
